Hello Everyone, I am, for the first time, playing around with wvdial. The man pages suggest that it is "intelligent" and not very configurable. Where / how / is_it_possible to configure the values for mtu, mru, asyncmap? I have tried setting them in /etc/ppp/options but wvdial seems to ignore these params. I am using 7.2 Prof, full install and an external analogue modem. TIA, Lourens. *** It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of bad Karma to burn off. *** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional Registered Linux User Lourens Steenkamp Republic of South Africa _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I've been using /etc/ppp/options to tweak it. I haven't totally figured it
out but the options I put in there are working. I added "demand" to it and
it works as well. How are you testing to see if your mru and mtu are being
used?

Lourens said to John :
/etc/ppp/options is configured for:
mtu 576
mru 542
asyncmap 0
The wvdial window shows the mtu (?) param:
Entering PPP mode.
Async interface address is unnumbered (FastEthernet0/0/0)
Your IP address is 196.31.176.201. MTU is 1500 bytes
Running ifconfig during a session gives mtu (?) as:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:196.31.176.201 P-t-P:196.2.32.2 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:576 Metric:1
/var/log/messages reports mru and asyncmap as:
Aug 1 23:37:00 lourens pppd[2875]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1
